Bob Costas didn't expect the Knicks to play two guards, and he sighed for a while:

"Hornacek's defense is in place, but Lee's shot is too fast!"

Doug Collins did not think this was a good shot, and said categorically:

"If Lee's shooting fails, it is very likely that the Jazz will seize the opportunity and counterattack."

"Of course, if he can keep hitting such difficult three-pointers, then the Jazz can only pray."

After the timeout, the Jazz quickly stabilized their position. Stockton and Malone simply played a pick-and-roll at the right elbow of the free throw line.

Malone caught the ball at the free throw line, took a tentative step and made a pull-up jump shot!

Oakley was so angry that he smashed the basketball and shot backwards. How could he defend against this?

The Knicks used the same tactic again. After Li You ran back twice in a row, this time the shot from the left wing failed.

"Wow!"

The Jazz fans at the scene cheered loudly, and coach Jerry Sloan on the sidelines breathed a sigh of relief.

Stockton, who collected the backcourt rebound, did not seize the opportunity to switch offense and continued to fall into position.

Continuously pursuing defense, the Knicks also showed tenacious defense. At the last moment, there was another pick-and-roll with nearly 24 seconds, and Stockton made an emergency stop jumper from the right elbow area.

The basketball hit the edge of the basket. Chris Childs successfully collected the rebound and then immediately passed it to Li You who was accelerating in the middle.

There were boos everywhere at the scene. Everyone in the Jazz team quickly retreated. Li You received the ball in the middle and kept accelerating with the ball in his left hand. Feeling the physical confrontation from Hornacek beside him, he quickly in and out close to the three-point line.

Swinging right and left, Li You held the ball with his left hand, shaking Hornacek to his side. Before he had time to react, Li You had already stopped at the three-point line, converted to a three-pointer and quickly shot a jump shot!

"Whoa!" The three-pointer hit the net.

At 49:48, the Knicks completed another lead.

A blind throw made the score? Stockton and Russell, who had retreated to half-court defense, both had solemn expressions on their faces.

"Shh!"

Ewing was so excited at this time that he didn't care about the boos on the scene and began to loudly call on his teammates to defend.

The Jazz also started to score. Kama Long received the ball in the low post on the left and Russell took the opportunity to quickly cut to the basket.

Although he successfully caught the ball, it was not a good offensive choice. Larry Johnson's pursuit was in place in time, and Ewing shrank from the basket. The moment Russell raised the ball, he was cut hard by "Auntie".

"squeak!"

The referee immediately blew the whistle and whistled a foul on Larry Johnson, and Russell got two free throws.

Without complaining, Larry Johnson quickly walked to the paint area. Russell missed the second free throw. The fans at the scene screamed again. Ewing grabbed the rebound and Chris Childs immediately responded.

Li You had already rushed through half court at this time. The Jazz team, which had suffered a heavy loss, desperately retreated on defense, and the Knicks were forced to follow and fall into position to attack.

It was still Li You who slipped to the bottom line, and Hornacek risked his life to continue to pursue the defense.

Moving quickly from left to right, Li You suddenly turned around just as he reached the bottom of the basket. After an emergency stop, he accelerated and reversed, and quickly bounced out to the left wing.

Arriving outside the three-point line, Li You once again received a cross pass from Chris Childs, and then immediately raised the ball and feinted.

Hornacek pursued the defense in time, but this time he was tricked into jumping by Li You. He tried hard to dodge in the air, but was still hit for a free throw.

Li You ignored the opponent's defense and threw the ball into the sky, and then shouted:

"My bowl!"

The basketball hoop was not touched, but the referee still gave three free throws.

When Li You stood on the free throw line, the shouting and cursing on the scene became louder and louder. Obviously, this hit attack completely angered the Jazz fans.

"Free throws are about giving away points. At such a critical moment, three free throws can also help the Knicks stabilize the situation. Lee is indeed very smart."

Bob Costas praised him out loud, but Isiah Thomas saw that Li You was almost out of tricks, and joked with a smile:

"I think Hornacek has adapted to Lee's offense at this time. If he wants to score easily, it will not be so easy."

At 52:49, Li You made all three free throws to help the Knicks take the lead again.

Stockton didn't show mercy at the critical moment. After passing the ball from outside several times, he succeeded in a jumper after a pick-and-roll at the left elbow of the free throw line.

In the next few rounds, Ewing and Larry Johnson missed a strong attack at the basket. Malone and Russell seized the opportunity and made consecutive free throws to take the lead.

At 52:55, Jeff Van Gundy also immediately requested a timeout.

The Jazz fans at the scene cheered loudly, victory is in sight!

It pinched the Knicks' Achilles' heel and fell into a positional attack. Li You held the ball too much and was double-teamed. Ewing's low-post offensive efficiency was stretched, and it was difficult to score for a while.

Oakley was breathing heavily and feeling depressed. Malone's big elbow was already effective at home. When stuck, waving the elbow is allowed here.

Li You didn't expect that the old guy opposite could run so well, and his physical fitness was better than he imagined. Before Van Gundy could speak, he immediately made a suggestion:

"Pat, pay attention to my running position, with my back to the basket, catch the ball in the blocking area, and throw the ball to the baseline in time."

The low position didn't work anymore. When Ewing heard Li You's words, he nodded immediately.

The atmosphere team was silent at this time, and the away game was more difficult than they imagined.

In a noisy scene, Jeff Van Gundy raises his voice and shouts chicken soup. If the offense fails, then we can only expect the defense to also make the opponent lose weight.

"Defense!Defense!Defense!"

The defensive cheers became louder and louder. After the timeout, the Knicks attacked. Using the same tactics, Li You quickly slipped to the baseline and then came to the right wing to receive the ball. Hornacek chased after him and then defended his right hand.

Putting the ball with his left hand, Li You made a cross-step breakthrough. Within two steps of entering the three-point line, Stockton blocked the breakthrough route.

Quickly returned the ball to the substitute Charlie Ward at the top of the arc.

The latter caught the ball without throwing it around. Taking advantage of Stockton's return to defense, he quickly moved to the left wing and then gave the ball to Ewing who was in the blocking area and wanted the ball with his back.

After completing the pass, Li You made an arc, came to the left block, pretended to cut into the baseline, then used his foot force, and after a few big steps, he quickly bounced out to the left corner.

Ewing immediately threw the ball, and Hornacek reacted quickly and jumped to defend!

The moment he caught the ball, Li You threw the ball out without making any adjustments. He was then tackled by Hornacek, and both of them fell to the floor at the same time.

"Whoa!" The three-pointer hit the net!

At 55:55, the Delta Center Arena suddenly became quiet, and then booed wildly again.

"Hey! That's a foul! Look at all my players getting tackled!"

Seeing that the referee didn't say anything, Jeff Van Gundy was furious and wanted to chase him to argue. In the end, the coaching staff hurriedly pulled the bald young coach back.

After finally equalizing the score, if we were called for a technical foul, it would be a huge loss.

There is no cylinder, no emphasis on falling space, and flexible penalty scales. As long as these tricks are used a few times, they will completely fail.

Li You stood up without complaining and quickly retreated with the Knicks.

Soon the two sides began to rely on free throws to score points.

Ewing worked hard at this time and kept pushing towards the basket, and Larry Johnson also rushed towards the basket.

Karl Malone and Stockton can also get free throws.

61:61, with 4 minutes and 35 seconds left in the third quarter, the two sides were still tied.

As long as the free throws are scored, both sides will fall into positional offense. The Jazz learned the lessons of the Bulls and the game became more stable.

After struggling for most of the game, Hornacek also began to pant.

Li You will be running around every round. The Knicks don't need to organize an offense at this time. They all rely on Ewing and Larry Johnson to rush in.

This time the Knicks attacked, Li You once again crossed the line and came to the left wing from right to left. Hornacek once again pursued the defense in time.

Malone, who followed Oakley to the free throw line, was ready to double-team.

After receiving the ball, Li You maintained a three-threat posture. He noticed that Hornacek in front of him deliberately put his right hand and kept a distance. Li You, who had been protecting the ball sideways, took a quick test step with his left foot and suddenly exerted force on his foot.

Take a pull-up jump shot after closing your feet!

"Whoa!" Another three-pointer!

At 64:61, the Knicks took the lead again.

Hornacek was confused, so he just threw it away? And he even scored?

The Knicks atmosphere team also became active at this time, yelling along.

Stockton seemed unaffected and passed the half step by step, quickly directing his teammates to get into position.

There was a cross screen under the basket, and then Karl Malone came to the right elbow area and asked for the ball with his back.

After receiving a pass from Stockton, Malone turned around, faced the frame and attacked with his right foot, then took a quick test step with his right foot, and then shot a mid-range jumper!

"state!"

In a rare opportunity, Ewing grabbed the rebound and quickly threw the ball forward. As soon as it crossed the center line, Li You received the pass near the right sideline.

Russell, who was chasing after the ball, saw Li You slowing down after catching the ball and immediately started a physical confrontation. At the same time, everyone on the Jazz team also quickly retreated from defense.

Li You, holding the ball in his left hand, came to the right wing against the defense, stepped on the three-point line, and quickly crossed and pulled back.

The moment he switched to his right hand, he adjusted his steps, took advantage of Russell's hand to defend, and dribbled the ball under his hips very quickly twice in a row, shaking his body, and then using his feet to quickly retreat.
